Will a set of 14" rims from a '04 Civic fit on a Fit sport? i have studded winter tires mounted on them and i'd like to keep them if they would fit on the Sport. thanks.

if the ratios matched pretty closely and the bolt pattern matches, what would be the difference?

Your snow tires are made for 14" wheels...18570R14

The steel wheels on the base are 15"...

Go here to check your size!
Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing
I checked your size to the Fit Sport (185/55/16)

Fit diameter is 24.01 inch and the 185/70/14 is 24.19 inch.
Your withen 3% so your good to go! As long as the caliper clears.

you might need spacers so they will clear the calipers. I think i've read that 5mm spacers would do the trick.
